House addition in West Menlo Park, CA

“We appreciated how they walked us through every phase of the project before installation began, and they were respectful of our home throughout the entire process. They were collaborative partners, highly responsive to communication and questions, and very transparent with the work. We love our newly remodeled bathroom.”

“We had an excellent experience with Casa Utopia and with Elior as our general contractor for our major home remodel. Our remodel was complex with multiple phases. We made a lot of changes and a lot of additional work from the original scope.1. We can now say with confidence that Elior is a very honest person. This is a very important trait for remodeling. A trustworthy contractor is essential.2. Our remodel was complex and we added on many additional items after the work had begun. Elior was very accommodating with the changes. As a matter of fact, some of the changes which we liked were Eliors suggestions based on his experience.Overall, Elior is an honest, trustworthy and very accommodating general contractor. We are extremely happy having worked with him on a complex home remodeling project and highly recommend Elior.”

“We had an outstanding experience working with On Design & Remodeling on a major home renovation, and we truly cant recommend them enough.Our original project included converting a backyard deck into a beautiful, enclosed office connected to our master bedroom, a kitchen update, and full remodels of two bathrooms. From the start, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication. The quotes were competitive, any change orders we requested were reasonable, and we were never hit with unexpected "gotcha" costs, which allowed us to manage the remodel budget effectively.We also want to give a special thank you to the design team. They were incredibly helpful throughout the process by providing thoughtful feedback, making great suggestions, and even accompanying us to design showrooms to help select materials. Their guidance made a huge difference in bringing everything together in a way that felt both cohesive and personalized.What really set On Design apart, though, was their care for our day-to-day living situation. We were living in the home during construction (and expecting our first child), and the entire team was incredibly respectful, thoughtful, and accommodating throughout the process. They carefully planned the project around which spaces we needed access to and when, making what could have been a stressful experience feel very manageable.Because of how great the experience was, we even expanded the project mid-way to include enclosing and insulating the garage, adding a ceiling, and reworking a wall to create a much more functional laundry closet. The quality and communication stayed top-notch throughout.One moment that really stuck with usMartin (crewmember) even wished us well as we were heading to the hospital for the birth of our baby!A huge thank you to project managers Raz and Sofia for keeping everything organized and on track, and to foremen Vicente and Sergio and the entire crew for their craftsmanship and kindness. They truly felt like partners in the process.We would absolutely work with On Design & Remodeling again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely caring team.”

“We hired Bark & Build Builders for a 1,100 sqft second story addition, full home remodel, and backyard renovation. It was a big project, and honestly we were nervous before starting, but the entire process went much smoother than we expected.Mike, the project manager, kept everything organized and always made sure we understood the next steps. Valentina the designer helped us create a layout and finishes that made the whole house feel modern and connected. Carlos and his team worked hard every day and the quality of the work really shows in the final result.What we appreciated most was that they cared not only about how the house looks, but also about doing the work properly behind the walls and making everything feel solid and well built.My advice for anyone reading this review is not to choose a contractor based only on the lowest price. Communication, planning, and good management make a huge difference on projects this size. We are very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Bark & Build Builders. 5 stars.”

“Our bathrooms needed a major upgrade, so I reached out to three contractors for quotes. After speaking with each of them, I ultimately chose Daniels team at Clarity Construction. While they werent the cheapest option, Im very glad I made this decisionwere extremely happy with the results.The process felt well-organized, almost like a technical project with distinct phases: design and implementation. Once the contract was signed, we were added to a WhatsApp group with the entire team, which made communication easy. Responses to questions were always prompt. Jael visited during the design phase. Daniel and Kobi also visited multiple times throughout the implementaiton phase to check progress and address any issues that came up.Our designer, Jael, was wonderful to work with. She was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough, answering all my questions and helping me visualize the space through renderings. She also accompanied me to various showrooms to select the right materials. As with any renovation, things changed once the walls were opened and designs took shape, but Jael guided us through adjustments and minor alterations until the very end.One example: our master bath wall couldnt accommodate a recessed medicine cabinet, and the surface-mount version took up too much space. We had to reorder mirrors, and the crew kindly removed and reinstalled them. Kobi even went out of his way to pick up the previous mirrors and help return them to Home Depot.Daniel handled challenges with calmness and respect. For instance, the backsplash in our guest bathroom initially wasnt high enough. I dreaded redoing all the tile behind the vanity, but Daniel suggested adding an additional four inches of tilea simple, elegant solution that preserved both aesthetics and functionality.For shower doors, Clarity installs premade models at no charge, but since ours were custom, they provided excellent referrals, and were very satisfied with the outcome. I also wanted to replace the old master bathroom window, and again, they connected us with a great window company. Their crew even helped install it without any extra cost.Kobi is a genuinely warm and thoughtful project manager. Both he and Daniel responded quickly to our questions, even during evenings and weekends. Their customer service is exceptionalboth objectively and from our personal experience.The foreman, Jose, was also patient and accommodating. I had second thoughts about placing a small cabinet near the master bathroom doorway, and he helped move it to the garage, reinforcing it so it could function as a nice standalone cabinet instead.From start to finish, Clarity Construction demonstrated that they truly care about their reputation, the quality of their work, and above all, customer satisfaction.”

“His crew was exceptionally skilled, punctual, and respectful of our home. They maintained a clean job site, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to detail throughout the project. Communication was another strong point—Nick kept us consistently updated on timelines, daily progress, and costs, with no surprises along the way. He delivered exactly within the timeframe he committed to. What really set Nick apart was how he treated us—like family. There was a genuine sense that he cared about the outcome as much as we did. The final result speaks for itself: our home looks completely transformed. If you’re looking for a contractor who combines craftsmanship, integrity, and clear communication, I highly recommend Bayside Builders Group for projects of any size.”
